Chapter 171: Interlude: Goddess of Death
"Are you sure? Is this him? ”
"I'm sure." Tang Xue looked directly into Dr. Su's eyes: "It's impossible for humans to deal with a group of monsters, right?" ”
Tang Xue sat in a wheelchair, in a huge space, warm and bright, despite the torrential rain and waves outside the window, it was still as smooth as land.
The people in the cabin were staring at their screens, everything was done quickly and silently, and they wore headphones, communicating with the pilots of the planes in the city, giving instructions and informing them.
The people in this closed cabin finally didn't have that kind of closed protective clothing, but they were separated from Tang Xue and Dr. Su by a transparent glass, and they were encased in the glass, which was a strict sterile environment, and anyone who had not been strictly disinfected was not allowed to enter.
Outside the glass is a regular space, there is a lingering smell of disinfectant water, and there are many people outside, who wear headphones to communicate with the people inside, and broadcast the picture.
This is one of the aircraft carrier's war rooms, full of sophisticated machinery, and Dr. Su has a huge screen in front of him, which is filled with images from all over the city, which are broadcast in real time, and the images are processed by technicians to increase clarity.
Dr. Su held a washed-out photo in his hand and looked at the screen from time to time.
"He is in the west of the city, and it is very likely that these S1 infections are going for him, and he is being threatened by the 'ovary'."
"Didn't you say you were going to study him as a test subject? If he's dead, what are you going to do? ”
"What I'm saying is that I'll do everything I can to bring him back, the reconnaissance planes are following the trajectory of this group of S1 infections, machine guns can't kill them, only bombers can be used, but in the absence of threats to the base, the transfer of bombers is not something I can decide alone."
"So you're going to sit by?"
"I've submitted a transfer request."
Dr. Su's hand suddenly pressed on the earphone, and the picture on the screen split into two, which was the Kuroshio surging in the rainy night, at a fork in the road, the Kuroshio split in two, and almost two-thirds of the S1 surged in the other direction.
The three helicopters that were tracking were also divided into two routes, two following the more side and one following the less side.
Although the speed of the Kuroshio Tide was fast, the speed of the helicopter was even faster, and one helicopter swept over the very front of the Kuroshio and headed farther away to reconnoitre.
The lower end of the plane releases a number of remote-controlled drones that flash red in the dark, and these military drones have good performance and will not shake even in the wind and rain.
The night camera captured a lot of footage back, but suddenly there was an explosion.
Some of the footage lost signal and changed to black and white, and the drone was shot down by something, and I didn't see what it was at all.
There were dense explosions ahead, and all the drones were destroyed, being attacked by some kind of silent long-range attack.
The sound of explosions, which occurred almost simultaneously, raised doubts about whether a well-armed unit was hiding in the darkness and shooting at the drones.
But this can't be, the city is a dead city at all, and it can't be the troops who attack.
"Stop, pull the height! Don't come any closer! The opponent has a long-range attack! Dr. Su shouted into the headphones.
In the helicopter footage of the latter one, the helicopter in front of it begins to slow down and quickly climbs upwards in an uphill diagonal shape.
But in an instant, sparks erupted from the stop bar, and the fuselage shook, losing its balance, and it was extremely urgent.
Before the fuselage could be stabilized, the slurry suddenly collided with an unknown object and burst sparks, and the sound of glass cracking was heard, and the helicopter completely lost its balance, emitting black smoke outward, like a falling bird, spinning and crashing into a nearby building.
The camera that belonged to the helicopter shook the sky, and those who witnessed all this felt like they had a piece of meat in their hearts.
Bang!!!
The fuselage crashed, and the oil in the tank leaked out and burned in the rain.
The rest of the helicopter didn't dare to get any closer, so it quickly turned around, gained altitude back, and was far away, taking pictures of the other side.
At the same time, a slow-down screen appeared on the screen.
The camera on the helicopter can reach 240 frames per second, which means that every 1/240th of a second, it can capture a picture, and in the slow-motion picture, it only captures a moment of the thing, it only appears for a moment, and there is an afterimage.
Its speed was comparable to that of a bullet, at least the speed of sound, and it was a pitch-black thing, like a thorn, and the slow-down process got the moment when the thorn collided with the stop bar.
It was like a shell coming out of a mortar and slamming into a helicopter.
Immediately after that, another processed image appeared, with 8 thorns at the same time, hitting different positions such as the slurry, the cockpit, the fuel tank, and the engine, completely knocking down the helicopter.
The person who saw this picture held his breath.
But the footage that came back next was even more shocking.
The black wave began to subside, and the S1 strong infections that followed one after another suddenly lost their indomitable momentum, and they came turbulently and walked calmly.
Because the camera was too far away, only an extremely blurry picture could be seen.
In the midst of the rain, they fell in droves, something like a grim reaper, scythe-wielding, harvesting their lives.
They were as fragile as ears of wheat in front of them, and their heads rolled off at the slightest cut, and their limbs were torn to shreds.
Bang!!!
There was a deafening explosion, the crashed helicopter exploded, and the fragments of the flames fell down like meteors, which were pieces of burning iron.
The firelight illuminated the area, and at last a faint shadow could be seen in the rain and mist, the shadow of a long serpent's whip.
"That's Hela! Don't go near it! Dr. Su shouted.
Tang Xue finally understood what the so-called "Hela" was, and why researchers with the supremacy of science would name this creature after the mythical goddess of death, because they were like the real god of death, leaving only death wherever they passed.
Legend has it that Hela would stand on the Nagelfa, a ship made of dead man's fingernails, with a mast so high that it would take a mortal a lifetime to climb to the top, and a ship full of armies of frost giants, who would bring death to the world, and that would be the end of the world.
This is "Hela", which makes people feel that this creature should not exist in the human world, it does not belong to the human world, and the country of death is its true destination.
It has intelligence far beyond that of humans, it is such a powerful, so terrifying, yet destined to be alone.
